Global AI Observatory is an independent international research and analysis initiative dedicated to the economic, institutional and social consequences of artificial intelligence. Its work focuses on long-term transformations in production, labor, value creation, governance and institutional responsibility, rather than on the daily news cycle. It publishes structured articles on artificial intelligence as a systemic factor shaping economic structures, institutional frameworks, and governance models. The work is not conceived as commentary on daily news, but as long-term analysis focused on trajectories, mechanisms, and institutional consequences.
AI Research Framework
Capitalism, value and production systems
Collects contributions that analyze AI as an economic infrastructure that transforms production, productivity, and the organization of the firm, reshaping markets and value chains. The focus is on value-creation mechanisms, business models, and long-term macroeconomic dynamics across industrial and digital contexts.
States, institutions and democratic governance
Collects in-depth studies on States and institutions, where AI reshapes public power, regulation, and decision-making processes, between private infrastructures and democratic legitimacy. It includes analyses of language and cognition as infrastructures of government, epistemic authority, and symbolic control in public policy and in public and administrative services.
Global labor, skills and social transformation
Collects studies that examine the impact of AI on global labor, on the distribution of skills, and on the economic and social value of employment. The articles address automation, algorithmic control, polarization, income and welfare, and the effects on identity and inclusion in today’s high-cognitive-intensity sectors.
The geopolitics and geoeconomics of AI
Collects analyses of the geopolitical and geoeconomic dimension of AI, centered on chips, energy, data, data centers, and critical raw materials. The articles analyze supply chains, strategic dependencies, export controls, and technological sovereignty, assessing the balance among States and blocs within the framework of global technological competition.

It concerns the formation of a new economic infrastructure, in which power is concentrated among those who organize the informational conditions within which firms, consumers, and institutions make decisions.…
